good processing-'ve never been afraid to make something breaks (although it is made of plastic) 150g are the absolute max. for patties But you get the same size (about 11cm diameter) patties are grilling slightly smaller and higher I am very pleased !!! also the "lift" does its job perfectly - at 55 patties (have a Super Bowl party thrown) a single problem. supposedly it is dishwasher-safe, but it washed by hand - no problem. as I said -bin very satisfied and happy with it = D
